DE LEssEPs, GREAT SUCCESS.

De Lesseps may not make a success of the Panama canal. The probability is that he will not. But he can point to such success in the SUez canal that it seems almost pity that he wasn't wise enough to rest his fame on that. The story of his triumph there is an impressive one. It has just been told in an impressive way by Mir. Joseph Rabins.
 The assets of the canal company in 1870 were e18, ,211 ,444, in 1886 922. .917, 1885, the cost of construction and improvement to date being e20, 1884, ,9s5. The first year in which there were any profits was 1872, when they were e92 ,951. The high water mark was reached in 1883, with profits amounting to e927, ,499. Last year they were e627, ,284, or less than any year since 1880. The sur plus in 1870 was e5,873, ,234, at present e6, ,039, ,699. The receipts the first year in which the canal was opened for traffic were e754, ,532, of which 9228, 750 were from navi- gation dues. In 1883 they were e2, TAO, ,933, of which the tolls were e2, ,645, ,504, the total receipts up to the close of last year having been very nearly ea5, ,O0O, ,00O. The par value of the shares is 500 francs, and they have fuctuated from 165 in 1871 to 3,55O in 1882, the average value in 1886 having been 9, O95 The shareholders receive 71 per cent. of the profits, and got their first dividend of ESQ., 153 in 1875. In 1883 their portion was q, ,- 018, ,524, the largest yet paid. The total amount paid in dividends to the shareholders has been e6, ,132, TAO, or 711S per cent. yearly on their original outlay. They have also, in addition, coupon bond.
 The number of vessels passing through the canal has increased in sixteen years from 486, with tonnage of 436, ,609, to 3,10O, net ton mage 5, ,767, ,656. The tonnage dues were g. .95 francs the first year; in 1873 they were raised to 15.17 francs. In 1886 they were 9-49 francs. The largest amount of business was done in 1885, when the dues were lowest, 9.04 francs; 3,624 vessels, 6,535, ,752 net ton mage passing through. During eleven years 655, ,547 troops have been carried through the canal Of the 3,1O0 vessels making the pas- sage last year, nearly five -sixths were English; the French, Germans and Dutch having the next largest numbers.
 This is record to be proud of. No won- der the old Frenchman could find faith and money when he undertook to make the Pana- l ma canal. But the greatest and boldest have their limits, and it seems pretty certain that De Lesseps overstepped his when he set the Panama scheme in motion

that he can't stand the ''extreme views" of President Palmer any longer.

The Worcester Spy does not agree with the Boston Advertiser that one cent postage is desirable now. It says: Before undertak- ing so great change as this, would it not be well to make some improvement in the ser vice which would cost less and be of greater advantage to the publies The system of de- livery by carriers, for example, might be largely extended, the deliveries in the cities made more frequent, so that letter might be sent and an answer received from any part of the same city, regularly and certain ly, within @ few hours, and carrier delivery extended to the small towns and villages. In Great Britain there is not hamlet and scarcely house that is not visited regularly by the letter carrier. It is not desirable that the postofice department should yield rev. enue above it's expenses, and it is not impor- tant that it should pay it's own expenses fully, but it does not seem best on the whole that the cost should be much greater than the receipts. The present rate of letter pos- tage is not burdensome; it is as small as that of any country, though the distances which letters are carried for single rate are great CT in this country than in any other
